SAFETY DEVICES

Chain catcher
The chain catcher catches the chain if it comes
o or jumps out from the slot on the bar.
Correct maintenance of the bar and correct
and regular tensioning of the chain prevent
such problems.
Chain brake handle
To reduce the risk of personal injury in the
event of kickback the saw has a chain brake,
which triggers on contact and stops the chain
immediately.
Hand guard
The hand guard protects the hand from
branches and from the chain if it comes
o or loose.
Strain reliever
The strain reliever protects the power cord from
unnecessary strain.
